I would like to see a nation that could really use the tundra. Like the Inuit (or possibly the Sami): Unique building: Igloo (Granary replacement, would give all tundra tiles +1 food +1 coin or something else ridiculously good and situational). Unique unit: A scout that gets gold or food...

Yesterday I had 25 City Raider Praetorians defending a city on Emperor. Picked off the attackers like flies in a few turns. That is what I call a solid defense!

In response to an earlier poster: I play chess, scrabble and Civ 4. I would not say that anyone of these is more complicated than the others. How would you measure that really? Chess might have a simpler set of rules but that just means you have to be able to calculate harder to be an average...

The base is 2 and 1 for food and production for any city. You never get less. When you settle a city, you will get the highest amout for food, and the highest amount for production. E.g. Plains with Elephant tile gives 1 food 2 production. Combined with your city which gives 2 food 1 production...

I think Drill is best when the battle is uneven... e.g. when your unit has 99% chance as mentioned above (anyone who had beelined to Samurajs know what I mean) but also when you are the underdog. Sometimes an Archer can do more damage with his first strike than a Swordsman if the defender is a...

maybe if the AI could put its city in the optimal location you would never be able to capture it? ;)

17 tanks and defensive pact... NICE ONE! But is there anything better than planning an early war and just before it you get all your Swordsmen to get +25% vs Archers upgrade? :)

...though in my second last game it was a bad decision I think (can't remember the maths now) since I came walking through the forest with almost only CR3 Swords and Cats. I got the City Raider bonus when attacking the Fort and had above 50%.

1. No 2. No 3. Some are friendly but can still backstab me 4. If my opponent has a lot more land and a lot better tech he will finish spaceship before me. 5. Better to not take any chances and crush him while I can. 6. Spaceship is boring and takes a lot of time.

Cause there are only you 2 in the world, he has more land than you and you have a giant army that will soon be obsolete?

I am having a similar problem. The first time I put the Civ Gold disk in, it could not be read. I restarted a few times and still it did not work. The next day it worked and I installed, but yesterday it did not work again. I have a NEC ND-3520 DVD burner and it does not seem to like the disc...

Just and idea but maybe you have an uncommon antivirus? It could block certain aspects of the installation. To be sure, install Civ in clean boot mode http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353/da Otherwise you should maybe Start -> Run -> DXDIAG as well and send it to Take2Games support as well...

In any case this small possibility is nothing you should base your decision of mines vs. windmills on, right?

I think there used to be too much hate for the creative trait. Great to see I am not the only one who likes it. Dutch, Ethiopian, Sumerian, all killers. And they make libraries cheaper now as well! Means I can use my trees for other stuff.

Yeah Gandhi is asking for it! Just make sure that you put all your units in one stack and start walking through woods or mountains (so they are protected from counterattack) towards his city. Your units should be mostly Trebuchets but they need some protection from a few Swordsmen etc. Then you...
